A suicide bomber has blown himself up at a sports field in north-western Afghanistan, killing at least four people.
Governor of Faryab province, Abdul Haq Shafiq, said the bomber attacked on Saturday while people were playing buzkashi, a traditional Afghan sport in which players on horseback wrangle for a headless goat carcass.
He said four were killed and 19 people were wounded.
The bombing is the latest in a spate of attacks that the Taliban has conducted in recent weeks in the south, east, north and now in north-western Afghanistan.
Zemeri Bashary, a spokesman for the Afghan Minister of Interior, said the bomber attacked in Shirin Tagab district.
